you are dammed!

you are dammed....in a good way. the good way that....well that only the dammed can be? I'll pass this vid on to a few other Supernatural friends. ;-)

Wow.

This vid was FANTASTIC!

I love love LOVE anyone who can do constructed reality well, and this was done just perfectly!

I know when you make a vid it's kinda hard to distance yourself from it enough to figure out if what you're doing will make sense to people watching it (I know I have that problem a lot anyway), but this vid completely made sense to me (well, a fucked up AU kind of sense ;-)) even before reading your commentary.

I got the whole Rebecca/Jess thing and I loved the whole Dark!Dean angle you were going for.

Really solid vid, nice editing job, and great attention to the beats. I absolutely loved it!

And YAY for the first Wincest vid! I tell ya, if loving the Wincest is wrong, then I don't want to be right ;-)

Yeah, absolutely. I've been tempted to get a vid beta, or try to tempt one to me, I should say. But---I don't know. It's weird, but vidding is this intensely personal, devoted experience for me now. It wasn't always. And I know it would be useful to have someone with clear eyes take a look at my video and say, "yes to this, no to this, and what the hell is that?" --- but I don't think I'm quite there yet as a vidder. Hopefully I will be one day.

I got the whole Rebecca/Jess thing and I loved the whole Dark!Dean angle you were going for.

I'm glad that you were able to take the Rebecca clips out of the context they were given to us in. A part of me was tempted to just say Sam was being a sleeze with EVERYONE, but even in an AU... well, that's just not good characterization. And I totally believe a vid can have 'characterization'.

And YAY for the first Wincest vid! I tell ya, if loving the Wincest is wrong, then I don't want to be right ;-)

Hee! Brothers seem to be a pattern for me. A very public, shameful problem. /whimper/

By the way, I have seen your vid, and have LOVED it. I'm putting together some in depth feedback, but it always takes me forever to get my brain around a vid I enjoyed and point out exactly why. Yeah. I'm one of THOSE feedback...ers.

That was freakin' awesome! I'm not even into the Wincest, and that was hot! Who knew that Dean's psyche would fit so well to Alanis Morisette?

I was shocked myself. I was just randomly listening to mp3s, and was hit with this giant bitch slap they call inspiration, and I call BRUTAL. I couldn't help myself.

HA, okay, that was *great*. I watched the vid before I read your notes, and the alternate storyline came through CRYSTAL CLEAR, so: very well done!

Also, the relationship you were showing us between the guys was extremely intense, and very, very clear. Wow.

(I do remember thinking that *if* you were so motivated to trim down the song a bit, that the vid could have been compacted a bit without suffering, but it certainly didn't feel too long; it was just a thought that occurred to me near the end.)

Whee! Glad you enjoyed it, and that the AU wasn't completely forced feeling. And dude, that footage was from two episodes? Just TWO. Why do they inflict THESE kinds of brothers on me? Huh?

And yeah, I did some trimming on the song, but I can see what you mean. I'm tempted to go back, and trim out one chorus (the one after "every time I scratch my nails down someone else's back"). If I do, then I'll put up a more perm version probably.

Thanks for the feedback! :)

This is ... beautifully wrong.

*gets back to embarrassing himself by squeaking and flailing as he watches it again*

Brother slash to Alanis?

Yeah. I did it. And no one ended up too hurt.

:D

*instantly struck down*

... Okay, I've tried several times to come up with something better than just a mess of "OMG!!!!" but really that's how coherent I am right now from the vid.

But I'll try, I will.

This vid was just amazing. Fabgasmic. I'm so glad I checked my LJ this morning because I got to watch this wonderful vid.

... It seriously rocked. :D (Now you can insert all the "OMG!!!!!!!"s xD .. )

I like messy OMGs. You have no idea how much.

And I certainly like being described as 'fabgasmic'. Or well. Something I did being described that way.

:)

I really love this vid. I'm not generally a fan of the 'cest (in any fandom) but your song choice and the story summary in your notes was so intriguing I had to take a look and I'm really glad I did because wow this is really amazing. You told the story very well and just...yeah. I'm kinda of blown away right now and words are failing me. So...good job! *g*

Hey, technically it's an AU, so... in your brain, they could just not be brothers. *solves all*

I'm so glad you took a chance and watched it. Honestly, I thought I'd get a few wandering over, and shaking their head at the girl who shouldn't EVER be allowed to listen to music while fangirling.

Thank you for the feedback.

This was some awesome work. And damn if that wasn't the perfect song. It really drove home Dean's anger and sense of betrayal. And all the footage you chose? Excellently done. I really hope to see more from you.

Oh, you shall.

(this is a threat, you realize, Supernatural has kind of taken the place of a few fandoms in my heart)

Thank you for the feedback. Alanis is actually quite convincing in this song, I've always thought. I enjoyed her, before she became well adjusted.

I saved this post to my memories so I can download it when I get home. Don't think my boss would appreciate me viewing this at work. It's gonna kill me to wait...is it 6:00 yet?? I'll comment on content later. Thanks for sharing.....

~Diane

I hope you like it. :)

I can't get the download, but I wanted to tell you how excited I am that you're vidding Supernatural. I've loved your NUmb3rs vids and feel sure you've brought the same level of quality to Evil!Dean.

Is it not working for you, or are you somewhere that you shouldn't download at? And thank you! I'm probably going to re-make Lost Art soon, though, because I've become aware of some gaping holes in it that need patching stat. /hangs head in shame/

All I can say is wow. Earlier coreopsis posted about this vid and led me over here. I was quite interested but honestly didn't think it was going to be as great as it was. I really love how Dean's anger came across. He didn't come across to me as evil rather than betrayed. I can find no other words excepted I totally loved it.

Word of mouth? My vid made word of mouth? Well, I'm very flattered.

He didn't come across to me as evil rather than betrayed.

See, YES. He's a little (a lot) psychotic certainly. But stuff like this just happens when you break up with psychotic guys. Um. Not that I'm condoning.

*searches for a rephrase button*

Er, nevermind. Anyway, thank you so much for giving it a chance, and taking the time to respond.

This is really good! & the song was a great addition!

Thanks! :)

Whoa...

I... I will never watch the show the same way again.

Which... is a good thing because I? LOVED this!! ^_^

I should probably admit right away though that I didn't read your notes before hand *g*. I just saw that it was a Supernatural vid, skimmed through things enough to find the link, starting downloading and went on with other things (*slaps self* Bad, Brosy! Bad!). After watching it though I rushed right back here. Not, however, because I was confused/needed clarification but because I wanted to fangirl myself all over some feedback =P. Seriously, I thought you did SUCH an amazing job illustrating this AU version of things. I was totally able to put aside my knowledge of the footage's actual context and apply it to the story you had set up. And was blown away by how dark (and, oddly enough, sexy) you were able to make it. Especially with the song choice which, holy crap, it turns out is thee PERFECT fit! I mean, the only "complaint" I could possibly have is that some parts are, literally, so dark that it's hard to make out what's being shown but, seeing as how that just's the ways things are lit/shot on the show, the fault lies nowhere near you. Besides, all that meant was that I had to watch it a few times before I got the full grasp of it all and, yeah, like that was a real chore ;P.

Anyway, the bottom line is that this is definitely a "keeper" and I'm really looking forward to your next vid! :)

Wincest rules all!

Er, I mean. Hmm.

Seriously, I thought you did SUCH an amazing job illustrating this AU version of things. I was totally able to put aside my knowledge of the footage's actual context and apply it to the story you had set up.

I'm so relieved that everything seems to have gotten through. I mean... it's an AU. So it was a little nerve wracking to actually post it. Nearly didn't. I love that you were able to put aside the context, because that's the truest struggle of an AU vid. It can be as pretty as you like, but if the audience is still seeing what really went on? No go. I mean---in this one, some application of true context was involved. Dean really feels he's a freak, deep down, and he really has issues with Sam running off. I think that might have played a part in people getting it. We want to see those issues dealt with. Maybe not like this... but something.

And was blown away by how dark (and, oddly enough, sexy) you were able to make it.

All them, trust me. As much as I enjoy the Wincest, occasionally I'm annoyed by all the eye fucking. How am I supposed to focus on things like plot? Or actually believe they're brothers? If they'd stop eye fucking, I'd stop with the Wincest, I swear. :D

Thank you very much for taking the time to respond. I'm horrible at RESPONDING to responses, but feedback is always very dear to me. I'm just never good at expressing that.

You're so beautiful and amazing and woah I just would marry you right now if we were in Vegas. We could do a Britney Spears.

Okay, wow, I loved this AU idea, it was just gorgeously executed. I love this song and I just thought it fit so well. You have a talent for matching scenes with the music. In all your videos. And the pacing is always top notch. Quality is always excellent when I view it. That's a thing of mine, I can't stand bad quality vids.

Damn. It all just fit so well. Dean being jealous and attacking Jess, the revenge. Haha oh man I fucking loved this so much. I'll be re-watching this about a bagillion times.

I can't decide which I'd rather you do more of--vidding or writing. Both are like crack to me.

Me + You = Happily Ever After.

Or maybe we are the same person after all, and then doing a Britney would just bring the idea to a whole nother level of self-promoting.

You have a talent for matching scenes with the music. In all your videos. And the pacing is always top notch.

Thank you! I have concerns, sometimes, that my slower-cut videos just bore people, but I'm glad to see that's not always the case. :) And quality IS an important issue. I learned that the hard way. Starting out, I had very limited source. Some of the videos I made! ::winces::

I can't decide which I'd rather you do more of--vidding or writing. Both are like crack to me.

If I was a cat right now, I'd be purring. Seriously. That's like... all my sweet spots right there.

Okay so I'm begging anyone who downloaded the video to put it up on RapidShare or just to their own site, if only for a day or so thus I can download it. My download manager hates YouSendIt and my dial up keeps timing out and I loose the whole thing.

Please please please please please! Anybody?

Sorry it took me so long to respond. I saw this, and was like, OH, I'll see what I can do... then promptly forgot. Because I suck.

I've never used rapidshare before, but I'll try to put it up tonight.

Also, Download Accelerator is a great way to resume downloads after they've timed out. And I think YouSendIt has some kind of special free software for that type of thing, but I could be wrong, and it might be more trouble than it's worth.

Firstly, I'm a Canadian and so the song tugs at my heart just that extra little bit. On top of that, it works perfectly. We don't really get the show in Canada unless you have satellite, so I've been gushing to my friends about it and they're clueless. I may just have to show them this!

Secondly, I've just recently fallen into this Supernatural obsession (thanks a lot, Jared!), and I've come from the vast Canadian Idol slash fandom. Basically, I'd forgotten that slash could be presented in video form because we never do it.

So needless to say, this was brilliant. Thank you!

Alanis just gets me sometimes, so I understand you completely. :)

I hope you're friends are okay with Wincest, then. More and more people seem to be stricken (in a good way!) by the Wincest fire daily.

:) I'm glad you enjoyed the video.

Yeeeep. That was a *remarkably* effective AU, and so creepy. I loved the effects you used to make the footage seem... well, all I can think is that you de-prettyfied it, which sounds dumb but I haven't had my coffee yet, so.

Brilliant vid. Oh Dean!

well, all I can think is that you de-prettyfied it, which sounds dumb but I haven't had my coffee yet, so.


Not dumb at all! I've been working with color a lot in my vids lately. In fact, probably too much. In this one, I did an RBG swab, removing some of the red, and a color overlay of a very gentle blue that never the less turned most of the night scenes REALLY blue, upped the contrast, and... did something to the gamma. I wrote it down somewhere. I'm glad you noticed! Seriously. It's the small things like that which totally make my day. :)

Thank you for this. Trust me, there's nothing better than making yourself late for school with something like this in the morning. I love it.

I love your icon so much. It needed to be said.

Mm...the way you set up the entire thing was very nice. I'm not a big fan of Alanis Morrisette, but the song went perfectly with the entire vid. You got your point across very clearly, and I especially like the scene in the beginning (when Dean throws the...knife or whatever it was) and during the lines It was a slap in my face / how quickly I was replaced. (sorry, don't know the time for it, but the scene was when Sam went to stand next to Jessica...) Dean's short quote at the beginning was also a very nice touch. ^^

Hmm, as for criticism... During the line I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner (also don't know time for that one, but it's the line right before the one I previously mentioned, near the middle of the song), the scene choice was a little odd; but that may have been just me, and it's just a little nitpicking.

No, no, I agree. It made sense at the time, but looking at it a million times, now it fees like filler. I *hate* filler. Well, no, I have nothing against it---but I like having a reason for each clip, even if the reason of it is to BE filler---and I can't remember why I used that there anymore. *wracks brain while looking for notebook*

Before I go pick my brain, I want to say thank you for the feedback. I've been consistently surprised by what people notice about this video. Thank you.

Good job on the vid. I didn't get the whole Rebecca as Jess thing, but that's just 'cuz I've seen Skin one too many times. Song choice was appropriate and the scenes were edited well. They flowed very nicely - no choppiness.

That's totally understandable. It was a reach, that's for sure.

Song choice was appropriate and the scenes were edited well. They flowed very nicely - no choppiness.

Yay! Song choice kind of worried me. It always does, but it did more so in this case. Dean is really classic rock, or maybe harder alternative rock, and Alanis is... I love her, but I wouldn't call her rock. She's Indie/New Age/Pop.

*mrfle* ... that was so excellent. I'm lacking words for how much this is so right, and SO WRONG, and also perfect.

(BTW, if you re-do Lost Art and make it even better? You will likely break me into a million eensy pieces, as it is already The Great Don and Charlie Vid of my heart. So you know.)

He can't help it.

(BTW, if you re-do Lost Art and make it even better? You will likely break me into a million eensy pieces, as it is already The Great Don and Charlie Vid of my heart. So you know.)

Yay! Double feedback. Always a special treat. See, I re-watched Lost Art againt this week to go back to the drawing board, and I don't hate it as much as I did the week before, and a month before that I adored it. I think it could definitely benefit from some tighter editing throughout, and maybe a few changes in clips. Just some overall adjustments, but I like the... feel of it, honestly.

Is that bad to say about your own vid? Hmph. I'll have to check the netiquette of that.

Anyway, I want it to be the same vid, but to run more smoothly with the beat. It was my first attempt at true beat-editing, so I'll cut myself a *little* slack. I'm glad you like it. I think I prefer 'disease' of my D/C vids, but I'm not sure. I haven't been able to re-watch it because it's currently on a computer that hasn't been set back up since my move.

Hey, this sounds amazing and I'd love to see it, but when I went to the site the downloads had already expired. Do you mind sending it over?

I'll upload it again within the next couple of days. :) Would you prefer the large or small version?

This was a great vid!

Out of curiosity, where did you get your footage?

Thanks. I have a dvd recorder, and I record the episodes onto a dvd, then rip it from there. Although the episodes I'm missing have now been sent to me. /fan!girl vidder squee/

Guh, the links are all expired! Can you please reupload the AVI version whenever you have time?

Absolutely. I'll let you know with a reply to your comment when the links are updated.

Thirding the request for a refresh of the AVI version! When you have time. :-)

Hee. I'm glad there's still interest! I'll upload the vid again as soon as possibe, and let you know with another comment when it's up.
